Please see below for clarification, sorry for the confusion.
The reason I ask is that on YouTube videos, people just say the "Brake Drums" and "Brake Shoes" for the Pre-Trip Inspection (Class B), but wonder why they don't mention the "Brake Linings".
Is the "inside of the drums" the same thing as the inside of the rim?

Well to answer your question. No, the rim and Brake drum are not the same thing. They are 2 totally different parts.Another Canadian driver and Bean Jr. Thank this. -

The brake linings are the friction material on the brake shoes. When you are looking at the brake drums and brake shoes on the inside of the wheel, the drums are the round surface going all around the inside of the wheel and the brake drums are the half circles just inside of the drums that push out toward the brake drums. When the brake valves are put in the parked position, the brake shoes push out and the brake linings, which are riveted to the shoes, make contact with the inside of the brake drums.

Shoes = linings.
These are automotive but big trucks are a little different being they are air brakes, they dont have the hydraulic wheel cylinder .
